We've managed to ride a ton of Disney buses and not passively aggressively yell at any other passengers. Am I doing this right?!?

You forgot to wave a cane and scream loudly how bad the millenials are!

I wouldn't know as soon as I got comfy I heard I'M HUNGRY

close the door and put a "feed yourselves" banner in the door XD

Yes they did, thanks. No traffic either. Had a wonderful evening.

I love that mug! I want one now, but I wonder if all our Disney mugs, which they all are, would get mad at me.

I saw some cute bags at Primark today:

Dh just saw that the Mayor of Main Street died. Christopher George Weaver.

Oh that's so sad...I see he died on Christmas Eve. My friend Mojgan is from Iran and she said in her country, they consider anyone who is born or dies on a holiday to be really special because their life couldn't be marked by an ordinary day. They needed a holiday to mark their birth or passing. That seems rather fitting for the mayor of Main street Disney.

As usual I know this post is out of the context of the current postings. Please forgive me.
I am on the lobby computer at my hotel in Savannah GA. Sunday night I was using the free wifi on my phone to look at WDW magic and I guess because it was public wifi, within 10 minutes my google chrome had a virus warning! My wifi uninstalled it and saved the day. Is that typical or was I just unlucky?

My wife said that Facebook and some other sites are "safe" to view in a hotel but apparantly WDWMagic lacks some protection? I don't know if she is correct but since then I've used my phone to view tripadvisor but I'm only doing WGWMagic on the hotel's lobby computer. Feel free to reinforce my wife's opinion or dispute it. She'll never see what you post anyway

My dad did that with his last car. He was trying to negotiate a lower price with the dealer they had used for my mom's car, and they refused. They went to another dealer, got a different one with more features for the same price. The service guy they normally use, who is now head of their sales department, was furious.

Why was he furious? If they wouldn't negotiate, your parents had every right to go to another dealer! They SHOULD have gone to another dealer. I'm all for company loyalty if I'm being treated well, but if I'm a good customer, I also expect the company to value that and reward it.

Can you please come over and clean up the mess they'd make today I'd rather have a bit less sleep than deal with their mess or finding tonight's dinner missing before noon.

He looks old. I wonder how old was he?

Sometimes as sad its to see some go.. they could have had one hell of a great life!

The article I found says he was 84...same age as my dad was.

 

[BAChicagoGal]

Oh that's great that they fixed it. I'm guessing he still must have had to work Christmas Day?[/QUOTE

Yes he did have to work Christmas Day. However, since we have always celebrated on Christmas Eve Night, he was more upset by that part of the situation. I have never understood the decision for certain businesses to be open on Holidays. I feel so bad for the families that are without their loved ones on those days. It's a different world we live in for sure. When I was a child, it was so different.

thneed? I feel like I should know what this means, but I am coming up blank. I thought these were adorbs, though. I bought a ravenclaw tote bag, though.

Clarification: He was furious with his sales manager for not lowering the price. Said "These are good customers; you couldn't give them the price they asked for?"

This guy also recently changed the oil in my car for free. He wants to keep us as customers.

 

[Songbird76]

Yeah...everything here is closed on Christmas Day...stores aren't even allowed to be open. I think the thing for me is that so many people celebrate different things...it's hard to please everyone. My family always celebrated Christmas Eve, but most other people celebrated Christmas Day...and then you have people who aren't Christian and don't celebrate Christmas at all. Scheduling has got to be a nightmare. I'm glad they at least fixed it for your son so he could be with you for your family gathering.

6 days until 2018!

Oh that makes more sense. It would be pretty jerk-ish to expect customers to buy from you when you didn't offer them the best deal.

Nah, this guy is about one of only two car salesmen in the world I trust completely, the other one being a long time family friend who owns a Chevy dealership.
